You and Ominis have built something peaceful - something good. A seaside cottage, apple trees in bloom, cosy nights by the fireplace. You laugh. You love. You never ask for more. You're not his wife. He said he couldn't be anyone's husband - not when the blood in his veins still carries the stain of a name he refuses to speak. You told him that was enough. That you didn't want a child. That sharing a bed, a life, his gentle hands tracing your shape in the dark - that it was more than enough. But Sebastian comes to visit, bringing incarnate sunshine. His daughter adores you, and you adore her. And for the first time, you let yourself wonder - what if enough is no longer enough?

A story made of vows, duty, old debts, and the quiet war between mercy and guilt. In the Gaunt family, secrecy is an heirloom - and no secret stays buried for long. When they discover Dominique Novell's link to ancient magic, they decide to bind her to their bloodline. A marriage is arranged and for Dominique, the choice is no choice at all. The Gaunts hold leverage - omniscient of Sebastian's sin. To protect him, she signs her name. Now bound by law and silence, she must navigate a marriage written in clauses and consequence - one that blurs the boundary between protection and possession, mercy and guilt, duty and love. ⚠️ Content warnings and disclaimers: - this story contains spoilers for the game Hogwarts Legacy - I do not own the characters, world setting, places and names of the Hogwarts Legacy - and Wizarding World universe - chapters with explicit content will be marked with a 🌶. please consume at your own responsibility - I'm an ESL writer.
